Ep. 178: Dealing with PCOS as a single woman, with Jen

Single ladies with menstrual cycle issues aren’t given much time and attention. “If you’re not trying to get pregnant, it’s not worth treating.” This is what Jen heard when she complained of long, irregular cycles and frustrating symptoms. She suspected PCOS, but getting a good diagnosis and treatment was harder than she thought. She believed she deserved excellent care NOW before she was ready to conceive and so she went in search of it. Jen shares her story of the transforming power of using cycle tracking to get to the next level of fertility education and women’s healthcare advocacy. I love her story and openness and I know you will, too! NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.Guest Bio: Born and raised in Kansas City, Jen is a lifelong Catholic and proud University of Kansas alum—yes, she love the Chiefs and believes KC BBQ is the best in the world. Now living in Nashville, Jen is enjoying the warmer weather and the slower pace of life in the South.Helpful links and related podcast episodes:Ep. 19: PCOS 101Ep. 87: What about single women? with FCP Intern, Elizabeth RandallEp. 152: Do PCOS cycles work with fertility awareness methods?Fiat Integrative Health, Franklin, TNAttend an Intro Session with Woven Natural Fertility CareSend Us a Text!Support the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!
